Who it's for

Large groups of 4-8 who want a loud, dramatic card game. Great for players who love the thrill of nailing a perfect bid.

Not for you if…

Not for players who dislike luck-heavy card games or want quiet, contemplative gameplay.

Vibe's take

Raucous, dramatic, social, unpredictable

About this game

Pirate-themed trick-taking game where you bid on exactly how many tricks you'll win each round. Special cards β€” mermaids, pirates, and the Skull King himself β€” override normal suit rules, creating wild upsets and spectacular bid failures.
